Some of the numbers they rehearsed were "America, Our Heritage," by Fred Waring from his workshop series, "The Wood Chuck Song " and "My Lord, What a Morning." Richard Connolley Coeds Hold Party The Waller Hall Association held a Dorm party for the girls Tuesday, March 22, 1955. Before the party, announcements were made and skits portraying life In the dorm were enacted. Chocolate milk and cupcakes were served. At a recent meeting, it was decided to purchase silver candle holders and linens for the tea tables of the College. 0 The final seven-day round in the race for the presidency of C.G.A. saw Harrison Morson eleminated in a primary election held after campaign speeches were given in Carver Auditorium. The presidency being the only office at stake in the primary, it was not until the final week before the election that campaigning started on a full-time scale. Being mainly restricted to Waller Hall Lounge, every available space was used to advantage to display the talents of some particular candidate. The candidates for the Community Government Association office for the College year 19551956 were introduced to the student body on Tuesday, March 22. The candidates were: president, Richard Bittner, and Robert Evans; vice-president, Al Miles and Richard Strine; secretary, Connie Ozalas and Sally Stallone; treasurer, Robert Biemesderfer and James Nicholas; assistant-treasurer, Paul Anderson and Richard Connolley. Vice-President Carl "Dutch" Meyer introduced the candidates and then explained the tradition of having the presidential and vice-presidential candidate Richard Strine, who was nominated by Robert Asby in the Nominations Assembly on March 22. Dick concentrated on the three letters, C.G.A., analyzing each letter and its related word. He stated, ". Connie Ozalas our C.G.A. should be a society of people having common rights and privileges, exercising authority, and forming ( together) for the purpose of advancing a common cause . . . we . . . possess common rights and privileges. But we must maintain these ..... if we are to survive as a well-organized association." A very coherent speech was presented by Dick Strine, closing with "I merely ask you to use good judgment and premeditative thought in your choice of an officer ." The second vice-presidential speaker, Al Miles, was nominated by Robert Arbogast last Tuesday. Al emphasized that "We want people on College Council who will have new and better ideas so that B.S.T.C. will become an even better college for you. . . It is every student's obligation to inquire Sally Stallone about all the candidates." An exhortation for all people to vote was made by Al who closed his speech with "I sincerely want All-College Talent to be vice-president of C.G.A. . . your support . . . can I be Show Applauded by with elected. . . The decision is yours."

The crepe paper, signs, matches, chewing gum, posters, rumors, and button-holing tactics will soon be carefully packed away for another year. It probably has not been the most exciting election the campus has seen, but it beyond doubt was not in the least dull. Whether you campaigned for a certain candidate, or just sat back and smiled at it all, it was fun; something you could count on to break the occasional monotony. This year the Maroon and Gold has again attempted to bring the election results to you, the student body, at the quickest possible moment following the election. This was done with the idea that one of the ultimate purposes of a college newspaper is to carry official announcements and records of important college functions and events. It was assumed that the college community is interested in knowing the results of its elections as soon as possible. Now that everyone knows who will reign as heads of your C.G.A. next year, if history can be said to repeat itself , B.S.T.C. will settle down once more and plod along as usual. The annual revival of interest in the political affairs of the college will subside and ennui will prevail where enthusiasm so lately sparkled. If that is the case, then it will be your own personal fault, and no one else's. You have just finished voting for five people who have told you or let it be known to you at one time or another during their campaign that they would serve YOU. If the candidate for whom you voted did not win, the person who did is STILL in office to serve YOU. He can do a good job; his capability is beyond question . But he cannot succeed without your support. C.G.A. officers and representatives are delegates whom YOU have sent to look after YOUR affairs. If you want a council to serve you, you must give it your full cooperation and support ; you must express your faith and confidence in it . It is the BEST council you will find in ANY State Teachers College in Pennsylvania . Were the candidates for whom you voted elected ? Good; since you helped put them where they are, you are as much responsible as they for their future success. Were your candidates defeated? Then all the more reason why you should work to support the organization. If you feel that the officers are unwise choices, the responsibility rests more directly on the individuals in the group. There are those who habitually criticize the C.G.A. and college council. Upon closer examination, it will be found that while many of these criticisms are in part justified , others are made by self-appointed critics. They do not know or realize any difference between C.G.A. and college council, when it meets and what it does. This issue of the Marpon and Gold should make at least a few of these points clear. This editor at least hopes's6. SENIOR CLASS MEETING The Senior Class met on Friday, March 25, in Carver Auditorium. Arnie Garinger, presiden t, called the meeting to order at 3:30 p.m. George Derk was elected Ivy Day Orator. The seniors received check lists for service key awards which they must complete and gave their measurements for caps and gowns. Roll call was taken. Bloomsburg Writer Series . ? ?

This well-liked instructor claims no specific hobbies, but a twinkle lights up his eyes whenever Pi Omega Pi outings at his cabin are mentioned. Mr. Gehrig somehow finds sufficient time to skillfully advise this business education fraternity, in addition to giving expert assistance i n coll ege, church , and community financial matters.

Deanna Morg an closed th e show with "I'll See You In My Dreams". The program was recorded and will be broadcast on the air sometime In the near future. ... Profile of the Week If you were to see someone burning the midnight oil on the Fourth Floor, Waller Hall, you can be sure it's our competent C.G.A. secretary, Muriel Neilson , scrambling through a jumbled mass of College Council notes. "Mur" is not only one o_f the busiest coeds on the campus, but would be a sure winner for "The Most Likeable Lass at B.S.T.C." A 1952 graduate of the West Pittston High School in the commercial course, Muriel now makes her home in Shavertown. Her popularity stems way back to her high school days when she was active in dramatics, choral work , the sewing club, and had the honor of being treasurer of the Senior Class. Muriel's record here at college is marked by hard work and a keen interest in school activities. In her freshman year, she made her debut in dramatics and was a member of Women 's Chorus . Business Education Club, and the Maroon and Gold Staff . Her second year at college was highlighted by her being elected secretary of the Sophomore Class and also being appointed secretary of the Obiter. At present, Muriel is well known in the College community as the popular secretary of our C.G.A. Her scholastic ability is evident by her membership in Pi Omega Pi, and her interest in teaching is reflected in her active participation, in F.T.A. and preparing programs for the Business Education.Club. She also keeps things "under control" by being head Fire Chief of Waller Hall. Muriel, a Junior in the Business Education Department, is as much a part of Bloomsburg as Carver Tower. Her enthusiasm, warm friendliness, and sympathetic understanding has endeared her to all who know her. Her plans for the future are still uncertain, but we know she will be a credit to "The Friendly College on the Hill." What's Your Opinion? Evidence that campaigning for C.G.A. elections has been in full swing could be seen and heard throughout the campus—speeches before assembly, a deluge of signs and posters, chewing gum enclosed in a wrapper sporting a candidate's name thrown from the balcony during assembly, and even napkins on the dinner tables stamped with one of the candidate's names. What did you think of the C.G.A. elections ? Can you suggest any new ideas or improvements for future campaigners ? Bunny Bowman : "I feel that the C.G.A. elections should attract more candidates than they have in the past. Offices of such importance should serve to stimulate interest so that the election itself would reach a keener pitch as it does on other college campuses. As far as new ideas are concerned, why not have the C.G.A. election speeches like an old - fashioned campaign rally with bands , para d es, and all that goes with it?" Bob Ebner: "It appears to me that our candidates are lacking pep and vigor. I feel the campaigns were too passive , f o r t h e i r speeches did not even offer a constructive program. It was admirable that there was no mud slinging, but let's h ave some original convincing campaigns!.!" Mar ily n Ritter : "The C.G.A. campaign adds color and interest to our campus. Th e a t t r a c t i ve posters and other eye-catching devices soon show which nominees ar willing to work for our votes an d are interested enou gh to advertise. After the candidate has spent so much time in developing his publicity, it seems to me that more people should support him at the polls." V ic M ich ael : "I think the cam- {>a igns this year were beter th an ast. I feel that part of the reason f or t h e better cam pa igns this year was due to the use of petitions, This allowed the candidate t i me to select a person to give their nominating speech, an d persons to carry out t h eir campaigns. For t h e f uture , I can only urge the would be candidates to use their imaginations, as imagination is the Key to a good and interesting campaign." Behind Closed Doors by Ken Weir As Treasurer of the Kehr-Ward Loan Fund, I sometimes wonder if the entire student body is acquainted with this unusual fund and the availability of it's resources. Perhaps the men on the campus are the only ones who have to lace an occasional financial crisis . . . (that figures!) but I'm Inclined to ' feel that our Waller Hall co-eds are not fully acquainted with the conditions under which they may borrow money from the fund . During the thirties while Miss Irma Ward was the college ctiet> itian, she was often asked by the students working in the dining room tor small emergency loans. Over the years she quietly made dozens of such loans to many students. Upon her sudden death in 1939, the Ward Fund was established in memory of her efforts. Miss Marguerite Kehr, a former Dean of Women, carried on the work of the Ward Fund until her retirement in 1953. Through donations from many organizations and individuals, the fund has grown to the present $500.00 In the case of any emergency, loans may be made up to $25.00, for thirty days.by applying in writing to either the Dean of Men or Women. Upon approval the treasurer will immediately draw a check for the amount needed. Our Editor suggested in the last issue that we do a little scouting for "Bloom". The President remindid us last week our Freshman Class would of necessity, be limited. Don't hesitate to invite the fellows and girls in your hometown to take a look at "Bloom", before they decide on their college Why not have them come up tor the big "Grecian Weekend" ? Bob Evans and his crew have some mighty fine ideas in store for the weekend of April 28. We've hardly taken down the campaign propaganda from our student government elections and it's time to think about the crowning of a "Greek God". Any high school senior would jump at the chance for a college weekend, so invite them up! Who knows, maybe they can play football . . . or at least be a football hero's sweetheart! ORCHIDS and ONIONS "Butch" ORCHIDS—to "us" for becoming the f o u r t h largest S t a t e Teachers College in the state. West Chester , Indiana, Millersyille, and then "Bloom" . . . but j ust wait!

Bob emphasized that ". . . the type of program I wi ll a d vocate will stem directly from your desires. Some . . , have been expressed, but all too many have remained unexpressed. . ." Bob asked that the students ". . . consider your candidates carefully and be sure to vote." ... TOPto TOE I BY TUCKY I Well, folks, we thought spring was almost here, but we sure got fooled. Back to the cold, cold weather and our warm, warm woolies. However, when spring finally does arrive, we can be sure we'll be seeing lots and lots of suits. This year's ideal has a slightly, almost casually, fitted jacket with a skirt that springs into pleats at the hipline. In close partnership, there's a slender pull-over, bowed at the neck, culled at the hip. looks like the waists are getting longer, so you might be moving backward into the 1920's again. The neat, complete look appears again in a print hat, print dress and imprinted coat. Wherever there's spring this year, there'll be Pink Violet . Because it's fresh and gay, and the heart of fashion this year, you're bound to find it anywhere . Away from what we're going to see and back to the present. Cathy Christian takes the spotlight in the brightest of turquoise j ersey dresses. Straight skirted, on Cathy it looks good. Bertie Knouse looked very neat at talent show practice Monday night in a red and grey plaid, pleated skirt and grey cardigan sweater with a matching plaid peter-pan collar, fusing into a panel down the front . j n i iy v L ic acciug uciii oidiinj ii 111 her coral suit can't help but notice how sweet she looks. Her pretty suit has a straight skirt and a box j acket with long sleeves, two imirritation pockets at the top and side pockets at the bottom. The jacke t is double-breasted with four buttons on either side. Sue Osborn's new navy-blue faille with a bolero jacket is one of the prettiest yet. The top of her dress is a lovely red and white silk-acetate falling into a tight fitting blue faille waist and full, full skirt. Side pockets with small navy blue buttons highlight the dress. The bolero has three-quarter length sleeves and navy-blue buttons down the front. Now, may I wish everyone a "Happy Easter," lots of new Easter outfits and may you all enjoy your well-deserved vocation, I know I will! Honor Roll of Hits If , by chance, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has been kind enough to allow you a few cents of spending money after the payment of the college fees, and you simply don't know what to do with it, check the following popular recordings that rate purchasing. Jerri Southern has recorded "SPEAK SOFTLY", a num ber which is rapidly gaining favoritism on the hit parade of songs. . . Make a note to hear "AFRAID". Georgie Auld's tenor saxophone provides dreamy background music for this selection which sounds like a sure-hit. . . "EVER SINCE YOU WENT AWAY" is Les Elgart's contribution to the parade of pops. . . Perry Como extends his free and easy style of voice to record "YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY LIFETIME SWEETHEART" . . . The king of the wild frontier has captured the hearts of the B.S.T.C. campus kiddies. We're all having a darn good time shouting out "THE BALLAD OF DAVY CROCKETT" despite the fact that we know no other line in the song other than the title. . . Lenny Dee has scored a two-base hit with his waxing of "THE BIRTH OF THE BLUES", and flip-side "PLANTATION BOOGIE." . . The King Sisters seem to feel as though they have "NO CHANCE". Considering the unusually large number of group vocalists competing with each other for top honors, I can un derstand why. . .

Foster Township started the night by winning over Nescopeck 70-48, with the victory j ust as decisive as the score indicated . Foster got off to a big lead . For a few minutes in the second period it looked as though the Warriors were going to come back. They did cut the margin to five points but apparently spent all their strength in so doing. Foster immediately reopened the gap and operated on a comfortable lead. The AshJand-westmoreiand go was the closest of the night. These teams were tied at the quarter at 14 and at the half at 28. Then the Westmoreland boys, coached by George McCutcheon , a B.S.T.C. graduate, started walking away. They built up a 41-29 lead in the first five and a qu arter minutes of the third period. The Black Diamonds at that point electrified the fans with a collection of 7 points in thirtyfive seconds. They trailed only four points as they headed into the last period. They were also heading for disaster. Westmoreland, led by Big Red Shales and Ernest Widmann, took complete command Slatington played their feature game without the services of Maurice Schneicher, their big man under the boards. But they did alright anyway. Dickson City, underdog in previous tourney play, couldn 't shake them and lost with great showing. They had a one-point lead at the end of the fir st period. They fell behind j ust before intermission and they didn't catch up. But it was still a close one until near the finish. The margin of victory for the Slaters was 15 points . They got more than half in the last 7 minutes.

Last year they sold Easter Eggs to help them out financially, and had a net profit of . $35. This year they are again selling Easter eggs. This is the chance for each male student to get a pound egg for his girl with her name on it, and at the same time help out the Fellowship. Eggs can be ordered from any member of the group. The fellowship, which meets each second and fourth Wednesday of the month, will not hold any meetings until after Lent . All members of the Fellowship have the opportunity of attending the Family Night of the church, which is held each first Wednesday of the month . At this Family Night each family in the church brings a favorite dish and there is lots to eat for everyone. The college students like this for two reasons: One, there's plenty of good homecooked food for everyone ; and 2, it doesn't cost a cent. All Reformed students who haven't been to any meetings yet had better come around and see what they 're missing. 130 E.
